      I believe this is a limitation of Windows, not of .NET.

          I think some Windows API can handle path longer than 260 chars in their
          Unicode version.
          But the framework defines the max to 260.
          So, the solution could be to use API perhaps.

              Thanks

              I already found out myself.
              It is limitation of ansi WinAPI.
              Found quick solution here:

              http://www.abtollc.com/products.aspx


              there are c++ and .NET wrapper.

              Thanks

                  Hello Peter,

                  use unicode version if winapi.
                  Just user the "\\?\" prefix for this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx
